TryToEvaluatePackage - ReferenceAlias

Member of: ReferenceAlias Script

This is a convenient way to tell an actor in an alias to reevaluate his package stack without calling GetActorReference() on it. It's mostly useful in cases where you have lots of aliases that may or may not be filled and you want to call EvaluatePackage() on them without having to test for an actor being present first.

Syntax

bool Function TryToEvaluatePackage()
	Actor ActorRef = GetActorReference()
	if ActorRef
		ActorRef.EvaluatePackage()
		Return True
	EndIf
	Return False
EndFunction

Parameters

None

Return Value

True if the actor evaluated his packages, false if no actor was there to be updated.

Examples

; Attempt to tell the guard to re-evaluate his packages
GuardAlias.TryToEvaluatePackage()
